Origin

[edit]

Quote: "Tilton revealed that the song [Goodbye] was written by Jenkins after the death of his first wife in childbirth." The song was published in 1935.

According to the Wikipedia entry on the songwriter, however, "Jenkins married high school sweetheart Nancy Harkey in 1931 and had three children: Gordon Jr., Susan, and Page. In 1946, he divorced Harkey and married Beverly Mahr, one of the singers in his band."

There would seem to be a discrepancy somewhere.
